CATCH OF THE WEEK: Rachel Hunter and Jarret Stoll unveil their engagement plans in this week's gossip mags.

LADIES MAN: Can you resist the charms of Wayne Anderson?

She once had a sugar daddy - now she's a bonafide cougar. Kiwi supermodel Rachel Hunter tells all about her recent engagement to a younger man in this week's gossip mags.

Hunter, 39, who has kept details of her and 26-year-old ice hockey star Jarret Stoll's engagement under wraps until now, is ready to talk. She's also keen to pose for some seriously intimate snaps, in which you can almost hear this cougar purring.

"I don't take the idea of marriage lightly, and I certainly hadn't been in a rush to get married again," a bling-laden Hunter tells Woman's Day.

Despite being married to model train set-loving crooner Rod Stewart for 10 years, Hunter says she had no problem saying "yes" when Stoll got down on bended knee during a recent trip to New Zealand. 

"I have never changed my mind about the importance of marriage, and that is a true reflection when you meet the right person. When Jarret asked me, I didn't have a doubt in my mind."

Is that because you could do your washing on Stoll's rock hard abs, Rach?

Stoll isn't the only star to fall in love with an older woman. Wannabe singer Wayne Anderson, the star of Prime TV's mockumentary Wayne Anderson: Glory Days, found the love of his life in a rest home.

"Initially it was the music that connected us," Anderson, 49, tells New Idea about his relationship with fan Faye Emery, 58.

"Then it just went a little bit further, didn't it? I turn you on, don't I. I'm your toy boy."

Breathe deeply, close your eyes, go to your happy place and do everything you can to keep your breakfast down.

Elsewhere, love is on the move for Kiwi sports stars Jeff and Adine Wilson, and their six-month-old baby Harper - the pair are shifting to Auckland. Guess drive-through lattes are too good to pass up.

"I never thought we would live in the North Island and I think we will always go back to the South Island in the long term," the country bumpkins tell Woman's Weekly.

Don't worry, guys - you can still gad about in your gumboots. You'll get used to all the pointing and whispering. 

Other stars who hit the headlines this week:

* TV3 news presenter Hillary Barry fears for her life. "I think I've always been a person in touch with my own mortality from quite a young age because my parents both individually had quite serious health issues from when I was about the age of 17," Barry tells NI. Do you see dead people, then?

* Police Ten 7 host Graham Bell knew he'd married the right woman when he found his wife cleaning his blood-stained shoes. "I found Joyce cleaning my police boots but she didn't know I'd been walking around in all these human remains," Bell tells WD. Let's hope she washed her hands before cooking dinner.

* Each gossip mag handles the potentially controversial topic of American Idol star Jennifer Hudson's horrific triple family fatality differently, but only one tries to turn it into a joke. That honour goes to WW with the use of the headline "Murder tragedy!" on its front cover. Yep, because killing is just hilarious.

Finally, the quote of the week comes from optimistic Spice Girl Mel B: "I have boobs, a bum and a bit of a lazy eye, but I'm comfortable with who I am ... if life gives you a lemon, make lemonade."

One lemon is hardly enough to start a lemonade stand, Mel. Better find a new supplier.

Way to go Rachel, nice work :)

@ Shane and Emily... The comment regarding Murder Tragedy... is the choice of words WW chose... Murder IS a tragedy!

Chris's comment is merely a dig on the word play chosen by WW! And to be fair, it is a very stupid headline.

Emily   #15   05:26 pm Jan 28 2009

I'm confused about the WW joke too. "Murder Tragedy!" sounds pretty serious to me.

i'm confused. How is WW's headline "Murder traegedy!" turning the situation into a joke? i think you have it wrong...

Since when does sticking an exclamation mark on the end of something make it a joke?

Rachel Hunter is such an image-concise bimbo. Only a man who is more famous than her can ever be a serious boyfriend to her.
